    Abstract: One method includes positioning a front side of a first substrate opposite a side of a second substrate, the first substrate comprising an ESD mitigation structure located at an approximate center of the front side, the second substrate comprising at least one TSV structure that extends through the side of the second substrate, the first substrate and the second substrates adapted to be positioned so as to result in the conductive coupling of the at least one TSV structure and the ESD mitigation structure, bending the first substrate to an initial contact position such that an initial engagement between the first substrate and the second substrate will result in conductively coupling between the ESD mitigation structure and the TSV structure, and engaging the first and second substrates with one another such that the ESD mitigation structure and the TSV structure are conductively coupled to one another.

    Abstract: Methods for reducing the junction temperature between an IC chip and its lid by including metal spacers in the TIM layer and the resulting devices are disclosed. Embodiments include providing a substrate, including integrated circuit devices, having front and back sides; forming vertical spacers on the backside of the substrate; providing a plate parallel to and spaced from the backside of the substrate; and forming a TIM layer, surrounding the vertical spacers, between the backside of the substrate and the plate.

    Abstract: Methods of forming an integrated RGB LED and Si CMOS driver wafer and the resulting devices are provided. Embodiments include providing a plurality of first color die over a CMOS wafer, each first color die being laterally separated with a first oxide and electrically connected to the CMOS wafer; providing a second color die above each first color die, each second color die being separated from each other with a second oxide, bonded to a first color die, and electrically connected to the CMOS wafer through the bonded first color die; removing a portion of each second color die to expose a portion of each bonded first color die; forming a conformal TCO layer over each first and second color die and on a side surface of each second color die and oxide; forming a PECVD oxide layer over the CMOS wafer; and planarizing the PECVD oxide layer.

    Abstract: Methods for integrating MOL TSVs in 3D SoC devices including face-to-face bonded IC chips. Embodiments include providing a device layer in each of IC chips on upper surfaces of top and bottom silicon wafers; forming, subsequent to the device layer, through-silicon vias (TSVs) extending through an upper surface of the device layer in each of the IC chips and into the bottom Si wafer; forming, subsequent to the TSVs, a dielectric layer on the upper surface of the device layer in each of the IC chips of the top and bottom Si wafers; forming a back-end-of-line metal layer in the dielectric layer of each of the IC chips of the top and bottom Si wafers; face-to-face bonding of opposing IC chips of the top and bottom Si wafers; and dicing adjacent bonded IC chips through vertically aligned dicing lanes in the top and bottom Si wafers.
